Denmark is the world's leading producer of fur skins

Every year Danish fur farmers raise more than 12 million mink.

1,978 Danish fur farmers own the cooperative company Kopenhagen Fur.

Kopenhagen Fur is the world’s largest auction house for furs and the global centre of the fur trade.

Kopenhagen Fur has a turnover of 5.3 billion Danish kroner (937 million USD) per year.

Danish fur farming contributes to Denmark’s balance of payments with an annual export income of approximately four billion Danish kroner (708 million USD).

Fur skins are Denmark’s largest export commodity to the booming economy in Hong Kong/China.

Fur farming is Denmark’s third largest type of animal farming.

The Ministry of Commerce in Denmark has selected the fur trade as one of 29 special competence clusters in Danish economic life.

Fur farming is a sustainable production that relieves the food industry of large quantities of waste cuts and by-products.

For decades the fur trade has researched and invested in the best possible conditions for the animals. The fur trade has its own research centre, but also cooperates with the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences, the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College, the University of Copenhagen and the Danish Animal Welfare Society.

Fur plays an important role on the fashion scene and is an integral part of the collections of leading fashion houses.
